Some of you may remember these from other threads. TY to BST.
Here We go 240's

The grind on this one makes it ok at everything and exceptional at not much, but if I wasn't going to spend the money to trust an exceptional maker...blue super seems way more useful than white. Its exceptional handle substantial grind, and ability to rock chop makes it a favorite for friends and family.

The western handle seems to slow me down even though it feels very nice. Sharpens with fewer strokes than almost anything I have...grind is better on hard sweet potatoes than anything I have and still almost no flex. I tend to leave it in the back of the house because I don't enjoy the western handle when I'm in the weeds.

Working a lot better after TK's pm pushed me into doing some catch up thinning after a year of use. The edge dies pretty fast...although this is probably 90% user error, and there is a little flex which forces me to avoid torque ...but between the perfect handle size, profile, and grind. This is my best all around.

Needs a good thinning to be a really good for everything, but its easy to sharpen, flat like I want and my main knife for carving on line.
